The Top 5 Tax Myths Of The GOP Spin Machine

As this election year commences with the media focused on the Republican Clown Car Primary, the American people are are being barraged by ludicrous campaign stunts, dumbfounding debate performances, and the usual mix of dishonesty and hatred that the GOP has fine-tuned for decades.

For the most part, the caterwauling of Republicans has drowned out any rebuttal by Democrats and the press seem content to deliver just one side of the political argument.

They will in fact post (what they view as) valid information but it will be unsubstantiated or unqualified opinion with no links or references to anything. They also will refer to conspiracies and rumor as valid. Many times it’s just ’cause they say so.
